Drummer Boy
Feature Film
Genre: Epic, Drama, Period
LOGLINE: After witnessing the brutal murder of his parents, a young Aaron and his brother struggle to survive; but when his musical talents lead them to the immoral, lavish courts of King Herod, Aaron is forced to chose between his faith and all the riches of the world.
SYNOPSIS: At the heart, Drummer Boy is not a Christmas story…it’s a salvation story. Aaron (14), having learned to play the drum from his father, provides a unique but relatable perspective into the journey of an unbeliever. At first, Aaron is a skeptic to the message of the coming Messiah, having witnessed the murder of his parents. He then receives praise and adoration in the royal courts of King Herod, where he’s tempted by the fleshly riches of the world. He seeks to promote himself to glory at the expense of those he cares for, only to come face-to-face with true evil. Broken to repentance, Aaron seeks forgiveness at the feet of the Messiah, ultimately choosing a life of sacrifice to a much greater plan and purpose. Drummer Boy’s epic adventure across the Judaean countryside to the royal courts of King Herod in Jerusalem, is a fresh new take on the classic song, contextualizing deeper into the events on the fringe of the Christmas story, focusing less on the well-known events of Joseph, Mary and Jesus, and highlights the story of “the greatest man to have ever lived”, as Jesus referred to John the Baptist, and John’s infant origins as the messenger who prepared the way.
Drummer Boy weaves the story of the beloved Christmas carol deeper into the events surrounding the extraordinary birth of John the Baptist and humble birth of the Savior.
